    measurable indicator of a biological state or condition

    A biomarker, or biological marker, is a measurable indicator of some biological state or condition. It can be a molecule found in blood, other body fluids, or tissues that signals a normal or abnormal process, or a condition or disease. For example, certain biomarkers can help diagnose diseases, monitor the progress of a condition, or evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment.

      community When could we expect pp405 to hit the market?

      in Research/Science  31 upvotes 11 months ago
      PP405 is expected to finish Phase 2 trials in late 2025, with potential market availability around 2028-2029 if all goes well. Current treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are still popular, while new options like KX-826 and Breezula are anticipated soon.

      community Why hasn’t anyone made a "DHT sponge" biologic yet???

      in Research/Science  45 upvotes 4 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.

      community I spoke to the Guy who did the Ru58841 (PSK-3841) research

      in Research/Science  291 upvotes 4 years ago
      The conversation discusses RU58841, a compound for hair loss treatment, which was found to be effective in a 6-month trial but was not pursued due to financial issues or marketability concerns, not safety. Some users are considering crowdfunding to release the research data, while others discuss personal experiences and safety concerns with RU58841.
